Chapter 5: Going to USA
A week went by after Mimi left. Sora was now facing the toughest obstacle to achieve what she wanted: her mother.
"But, mom!"
"You're not going, Sora! School already started and there's no way you will miss it because of a boy."
"It's not a boy, mom. It's my boy!"
"Still, you're not going. And I'm not going back on my decision."
"Ugh!" She stormed off and slammed the door as she left.
"Sora, come back here."
"What's going on?" Tai asked when the elevator opened and saw his best friend running away.
"I forbade her to go to the United States after Matt."
"Is she still considering in going?"
"Apparently yes."
"I'm going to talk to her."
"Please tell her it's a stupid idea."
"I will."
Tai started running in the same direction Sora did. Toshiko watched him before walking in and closing the door.
Sora was sitting on a branch of a tree. Tears falling continuously from her eyes. Why couldn't her mother understand?
"I can't believe we're back to the days before I went to the Digiworld."
"Hey, Sora!"
She opened her eyes and looked down. She wasn't surprised at all.
"What are you doing here, Tai?"
"I saw you running off when I came out of the elevator, so I thought I could check out on you."
"Well, you're wasting your time."
"You can talk to me."
"I don't want to."
"Come on, I'm your best friend."
"I said no."
He refused to accept. "I'm coming up."
"Don't."
Before she knew it, he was already sitting next to her. He had a smile on his face, which annoyed Sora a lot.
"You're really stubborn."
"So tell me. What happened?"
She noticed the smile on Tai's face was replaced by a serious look.
"I told my mother I was going to USA after Matt."
"And she obviously didn't let you."
"Yeah." The girl sighed. "She just doesn't get it."
"I think you're the one who doesn't get it."
"What? You didn't come here to call me out, did you?"
"I just think you should take sometime to analyze this decision a little further."
"Tai, I talked to him on the phone. If I don't chase him, I might be surprised with what may happen."
"What is that, exactly?"
"He can come back with a girlfriend."
"Yeah, like that would happen." He laughed.
Sora frowned. "Come on, Tai! He's a rockstar. There are millions of girls throwing themselves at him. I just want it not to happen."
"I guess it makes sense."
"I would expect a little support from my best friend, you know?"
Tai hugged her tight. "Is this what you really want?"
"Being with Matt?" She asked. "More than anything else in this world."
"Then I'll support you."
"Thanks, Tai. That means a lot to me."
"Anytime." He pulled away from her. "I just hope you and Matt become a real couple as soon as possible."
Sora couldn't help but laugh. "If it's up to me, we will."
"How do you plan on going to US anyway?"
"I'm running away."
Tai looked at her shocked. Sora shrugged and looked away.
"You'll have to back me up on this."
"That was a hell of a great concert." Takashi said as they entered the dressing room.
"It really was. All our concerts here were sold out so far."
"And now we have to give autographs and take pictures."
"We should celebrate later, right Matt?" Yutaka looked at the lead singer. "Matt? Are you okay?"
"Huh?" He shook his head. "I'm fine, Yutaka."
"Would you like to celebrate with us?"
"No, thanks. You can go, though. Just don't party too hard, alright?"
"Come on, you should go with us. There are plenty of girls waiting for us."
"I don't want to."
"Let's go." Akira said. "He's mourning over that girl again."
"Her name is Sora!" Matt hissed. "And I'm not mourning over her."
"Right. Then why don't you do something about it?"
"Because there's nothing I can do."
"Whatever."
"Come on, Akira." Takashi interrupted. "Let's get going before you two decide to jump on each other's throats."
"You're such a loser, Matt."
"Repeat that."
"I'll be happy to. You are a loser."
"Guys, come on. Stop insulting each other."
"He's the one who's insulting, not me."
"What's your problem, Akira? Why can't you leave Matt alone?"
"Because he's ridiculous. And you know how I feel about this kind of people."
"Enough!" Yutaka said. "If you don't stop now, we're ending the tour here. Do you want to disappoint hundreds of fans?"
"No." They both said at the same time.
"Good. So try getting along with each other or the tour will be cancelled. Got it?"
"Yes."
"Now let's go talk to our fans. They are getting impatient."
The rest of the group joined Sora and Tai at the park and she filled them in.
"But, Sora, that's crazy!"
"I need to go, TK. I need to tell Matt how I really feel."
"You told him already."
"Yes, but I can't fear losing him."
"He will come back before you know it."
"How do you know he won't come back with a girlfriend?"
"Because I know my brother. I know he left after you confessed, but he's not insensitive."
"Right." Tai said. "Did he ask you to say that?"
"No." TK replied. "And you should know it, you're his best friend."
"I need to go."
"You don't even have enough money to cover the expenses."
"That's why I'm going from the Digiworld. I'll get to see Piyomon as well."
"You'll have to walk a lot."
"I don't mind."
"Sora, it may take days to arrive in US."
"I don't care, Izzy. As long as I get to see Matt, it doesn't matter to me."
"If you say so."
"Look, I just need you guys to support me. Can you do that?"
"Yes." Kari replied.
"Kari!"
"What? She's going after her dream. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Sure there is. Matt is in another country!"
"So is Mimi! By the way, you should go with Sora and try patching things up with her."
"Like mom and dad would let me go."
"You're always finding an excuse not to do something."
"I am not."
"Yes you are."
"This isn't the time to fight." Sora said a bit harshly. "I need you all to back me up. Please. I'll be back before you know it."
"You two are so stupid." Kari said, pointing to her brother and TK. "Tai, you're her best friend! You should support her. And you, TK. You're Matt's brother. You're supposed to make sure he's happy. Sora is the one who's gonna make him happy."
"That's right. I need to be with Matt." She looked at everyone and her gaze fell on her best friend. "Please, Tai. You said you were gonna support me."
Tears started falling from her eyes and Tai looked away as he began feeling guilty about the situation.
"Fine, I get it."
"Sora, where are you going?"
"I don't know, but I can't be here anymore."
"Ugh, you're such a jerk, Taichi!"
Kari started running after Sora. The guys stood still, unable to speak or react.
The crowd was louder than usual. Girls were yelling and forcing their way into each other. Matt and his band mates had to be protected by the security.
"Wow, girls are crazy tonight."
"More like way over the line."
Takashi and Yutaka looked at their right and saw Akira making out with a girl.
"This guy never misses an opportunity."
Matt was a bit far from the rest, also giving autographs. A girl tried to make her way through the crowd so she could get near the singer.
"Matt!"
The blonde lifted his head and searched for the person who called him. It didn't take him much because of the unusual hair color. A smile appeared on his lips as she came closer.
"Hey, Mimi. What are you doing here?"
"What a great concert! I've never seen you guys play before. Sora always tells me you guys rock. So I had to see it."
"Well, it's great to have you here. Did you like it?"
"Yes, I loved it! The Teenage Wolves are great."
"Thanks." He smiled. "How is everyone in Japan?"
"They're all great. I miss hanging around with you so much. I wish I could move back to Odaiba."
"We all miss you, especially Tai."
"So you heard, huh?"
"TK told me."
"Oh." She paused. "Matt, Sora is coming to USA."
"What?"
Kari and Sora convinced Izzy to let them use the computer room to go to the Digiworld. The younger Kamiya managed to convince Tai and TK to support their friend. Sora said goodbye to the photographer and Izzy and went to the Digiworld.
